Darren Criss and Chris Colfer's Glee
romance will get physical on next week's episode of the Fox
musical-comedy.
In the episode, titled The First
Time, Criss' Blaine Anderson and Colfer's Kurt Hummel take their
budding romance to the next level, according to Entertainment
Weekly (EW).
The coupling is “handled very
delicately and is incredibly moving,” the entertainment glossy
wrote.
“I can't think of another network
series that's taken a teenage gay relationship so far or been so
progressive,” EW noted.
In a promo for the episode, Blaine asks
Kurt, “Don't you want to experience everything in life that you
can?” (The video is embedded in the right panel of this page.)
The couple's decision is prompted by
the arrival of Sebastian (played by newcomer Grant Gustin), a
scheming Dalton Academy Warbler who aggressively pursues Blaine.
Viewers can also expect to see the
return of Dave Karofsky (Max Adler), the closeted William McKinley
High School bully who tormented Kurt for being gay last season and
ended up being crowned prom king. Kurt and Blaine run into the
football star in West Lima's only gay bar, appropriately titled
Scandals.
Also set to lose their virginity on the
episode are Finn Hudson (played by Cory Monteith) and Rachel Berry
(Lea Michele).
